Very interesting take

Look at how far OpenAI has drifted from their original mission. Everything comes back to greed, so it's ideal for the world if selfish motives happen to coincide with what's good for the world, like advancements in open models

It's a standard take since it is how markets tend to work. They aren't powered by altruism, it is a big system for turning greed into good results. We don't have all this stuff because people suddenly woke up one morning and decided to be nice.

[breezybottom]

Yes but there's more to the world than markets.

Isn't it the entire basis of capitalism?

I don't understand what is interesting about it: it's the default.

Markets don't run on altruism.

[woctordho]

And humans don't run on markets.

The standard is applied very inconsistently. Nobody accuses the local bakery of being motivated by profit, and that they don't bake bread for you out of altruism.
